Just spoke to Tom's Dad and he's out of surgery. All went well, although the surgeon told him the bladder was completely "dead" and very infected.."one of the worse he has seen" A lot of infection around the area and they are a little concerned about the liver but feel the antibiotics should take care of it.
It was the less invasive procedure that DocICU described and he may go home tomorrow or Thursday. Will look to post pics of bladder as soon as I can in Esoteric

Best wishes to Tom for a speedy recovery... And I'm sure that just like LBJ before him, he will regale us with views of his scar soon!

This is like a scene from "Fight Club"...
"I am Tom's festering, diseased gall bladder..."

The surgeon is likely describing the dreaded gangrenous gallbladder that could have perforated (had a hole in it for the infection to spread throughout his body) if left to fester much longer. Sounds like they got a diffcult decision done flawlessly as they didn't wait too long but gave the antibiotics enough time to make him a surgical candidate. Tom is obviously a lucky guy on this one as a perforated gallbladder is potentially life threatening. He'll be his special self by the weekend.

Just an update as Bob has already mentioned all the well wishes, I can't wait to read them.
I have been discharged and I am home, hopefully about to get about 15 hours of sleep as I didn't get one red minute of sleep in the hospital. While this was my first appearance at a hospital ever, lets hope that it is my last. I just wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes, it is greatly appreciated. FYI, if anyone is trying to call me, the hospital lost my cell phone, my IPOD and my favorite belt.
